Indefensible Space: The Architecture of the National Insecurity State
November 20, 2007
A panel discussion on Indefensible Space: The Architecture of the National Insecurity State, a new book edited by Michael Sorkin that examines how post-9/11 paranoia and demands for security are, paradoxically, leading to ever more insecurity, as physical barriers, increased surveillance, and anxiety erode public space. Part 3 of 4: Cindi Katz

Cindi Katz is Professor of Geography in Environmental Psychology and Women’s Studies at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Her work concerns social reproduction and the production of space, place, and nature; children and the environment; and the consequences of global economic restructuring for everyday life. She has published widely on these themes as well as on social theory and the politics of knowledge in edited collections and in numerous journals. She is the editor (with Janice Monk) of Full Circles: Geographies of Gender over the Life Course, Life’s Work: Geographies of Social Reproduction (with Sallie Marston and Katharyne Mitchell), and Growing up Global: Economic Restructuring and Children’s Everyday Lives.
